xxforms:path()?

All,
In saxon there is an extention function, saxon:path(), which returns the string value of the xpath for the current item. Is there a version of this function in xxforms? I tried using the saxon version but it doesn't include the instance() prefix.

Thanks

Ryan

Unfortunately not. Or at least not yet ;). In some cases a workaround
would be to do a concat(): assuming saxon:path() return an expression
that starts with "/", you could write:

concat('instance(''...'')/root()', saxon:path(...))
